I think it is more about predictability with Mettenberger. Everyone knows when we will pass and when we will run. I remember a couple games where we had to max protect and have 2 man routes. If we could have more options and use them consistently it would open the field. I say a combo of things.

Bc we dont need a QB to throw the ball 35 times a game for 350 yards to win games. This isnt the Big12. We count on our defense. We run the ball to keep the other team's offense off the field and when our run game (i.e. O-line play) is gelling, our passing game is there.

Sure Mett missed a lot of throws but there was a lot of drops this year and an o-line that couldnt stay consistent in pass protection.

Don't have to have a spectacular offense. You do need to be able to turn it on when it's necessary though.

No...Miles is not on the field! But it is Mile's responsibility to do whatever is necessary to "develop" a QB. Emphasis has totally been on the running game-go back and look at the stats for the past 4-5 years and check the averages....at best 30% passing, and 70% run, with a whole lot of 20% passing and 80% run. I would suspect that "if" we were to recruit a high powered OC....that he would decline the offer!

The raw talent is there-Met has it! BUT.....it has to be developed! It has to be developed in practice-repetitions, ect. Instead...it's the dive play off left tackle!!!! You know the one i am talking about....the one the other team is waiting on!

quote:Randall and clausen didnt develop under Jimbo and Saban. They were both below average qbs.

Randall and Clausen were destined to be backups. And let's not pretend that Russell never got any playing time in 2004. And as for Josh Booty, he played much better under Saban than he ever did under DiNardo. In fact he was first-team all SEC under Saban/Fisher. Was Davey not developed under Saban/Fisher?

quote: Then did not play despite the worst QB in our histroy stinking it up.

Chad Loupe,Jesse Daigle, and Marcus Randle all say hello.

JJ and JL are gone. I don't know how much cfb y'all watch but for years I have seen teams with far less talented offensive players AND qbs than we have had be able to consistently run, pass, and score. So either LSU just has the most overrated offensive ayers in the country or the coaches have no clue how to get the most out of their players.
